Which Tarot Card Am I?. . or, can I draw another card?

From Mark Lindner's blog, . . . the thoughts are broken, this small quiz on what card of the Tarot deck are you. He pulled the Fool, which he thinks may be mistaken for him. I think based on the description he got, many librarians may fit that, at least the part about disregarding conformity, which I think many librarians do on a daily basis, including Mr. Lindner. At any rate, I decided to take the quiz myself, and my results are:


You are the the Hierophant card. The Hierophant,
called The Pope in some decks, is the preserver
of cultural traditions. After entering The
Emperor's society, The Hierophant teaches us
its wisdom. The Hierophant learns and teaches
our cultural traditions. The discoveries our
ancestors have made influence the present.
Without forces such as The Hierophant who are
able to interpret and communicate traditional
lore, each generation would have to begin to
learn anew. As a force that is concentrated on
our past and our culture, The Hierophant can
sometimes be stubborn and set in his ways. This
is a negative trait he shares with his zodiac
sign, Taurus. But like Taurus he is productive.
His traditional lore can provide a source of
inspiration for the creatively inclined, and
his knowledge provides an excellent foundation
for those who come into their own in the
business world. Image from: Morgan E.

Which Tarot Card Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

I have to wonder a little as well. On the one hand, the teaching part fits me to a "t" as they say. The stubbornness, hmm, maybe a little. Maybe the results came out closer than I am willing to admit? I think I like the idea of communicating and interpreting for others. In my case, I will expand it to facilitate and to opening doors. Anyways, go give it a try.

Finally, this may be a bad segue, but using my card (the Pope), I will also point readers to Mr. Lindner's very thoughtful post on Librarianship as penance. Not what you think from the title, go read it.
